The Infernal Server Error

I want to update everyone on the status of my investigation into the periodic and infuriating error that seems to come and go. I have established beyond a reasonable doubt that the error is the result of a variant on the Denial of Service Attack whereby a website is targetted by bots that overwhelm it with hits in order to shut it down. On occasion, the error has indeed been caused by this kind of blatant approach--looking at top visitors we would notice a huge spike from a given IP address, on the order of hundreds of hits in a period of minutes. Banning these IPs would usually clear up the problem. I recently began studying the access logs and found an inordinate number of hits from certain IP ranges, and during periods when the error has been particularly bad, banning these IP ranges wholesale has significantly reduced or eliminated the error. Unfortunately, some of these IP ranges may include your IP as a user--I don't have a good answer for those of you except that you should look into accessing the site from a proxy server. After months of wondering whether the problem lay with my server or Drupal database, I have eliminated that as a possibility given the remarkable coincidence of banning certain IP ranges with reductions in the frequency of errors. It is not surprising that we are being targeted--we are clearly one of the few forums on the internet that are coming close to the real truth about 9/11. Other less truthful sites don't seem to have this problem, you may have noticed. In any case, I don't expect this will be the last we see of disruption on the forum--when we plug one hole they will no doubt look to make another one. Like the crew of the USS Liberty, our goal is to stay afloat as long as possible in order to bear witness to the truth until and when the cavalry arrives in the form of mass awareness. Thanks for your understanding and sorry if this causes undue toil or trouble to any of you!
